It’s difficult to overstate exactly how important Brooks Lennon has become to this team. Two weeks ago, he hadn’t made his Real Salt Lake debut. Today,we sit wondering if he should retain his position when Jordan Allen returns to full fitness.
It only took 180 minutes for Lennon to make his mark. In that time, he nearly scored a goal, he created opportunities, and he showed that he’s good enough for MLS. I didn’t quite expect that. I expected some sort of transition period.
Of course, it’s important to remember that Lennon is still young.
